Interesting. What I have added to HEAD and 9.0 docs is the attached
patch that explains the proper service name should be used. I don't
think I want to mention 64-bit explicitly, and in fact this section is
part of an 'e.g.' block, meaning they are just examples. If I get more
64-bit reports I can add an example for that too.

Agreed. Second patch attached that mentions this.
